Bunnings shoppers are rushing to snag this surprising $1 find—here’s why you’ll want one too

If there’s one thing Aussies love, it’s a good bargain—and Bunnings has just delivered a new must-have that’s got shoppers buzzing with excitement.

The latest sensation? Mini buckets for just $1 each! Yes, you read that right—these pint-sized powerhouses are flying off the shelves, and for good reason.



Bunnings is no stranger to cult-favourite products, but their new 600mL mini buckets have taken things to a whole new level.

These adorable little tubs are essentially shrunken versions of the iconic 10L and 20L buckets you’ve probably seen on The Block or stacked up in your own shed.

At just a gold coin each, they’re not only affordable but also endlessly versatile.

So, what’s all the fuss about? Well, it turns out these mini buckets are the Swiss Army knives of storage.

Need somewhere to stash your screws, bolts, or spare keys? Sorted. Looking for a cute way to organise your craft supplies, sewing bits, or even your grandkids’ Lego? Done.

Want a quirky plant pot, a lolly bucket for a birthday party, or a handy container for Halloween treats? The mini bucket’s got you covered.

Bunnings’ social media pages have been flooded with comments and creative ideas, with their video showcasing the buckets racking up over 650,000 views. Shoppers are sharing their excitement and, in true Aussie fashion, a bit of cheeky humour too.

‘Why do I need to impulsively buy 10 of the minis?’ one person laughed.



Another confessed, ‘I don’t know what I need this for but I want it.’ And who can blame them? Sometimes, you just know you’ll find a use for something so handy (and so cute).

The ideas keep rolling in: ‘Lolly buckets instead of lolly bags for a Bunnings-themed birthday party,’ suggested one clever shopper.

Another said, ‘I bought one for my toddler daughter to 'help' me in the garden—she collects rocks and other interesting garden things in her bucket.’ Others are planning to use them for everything from storing craft items and odd bits to gifting at Christmas.

Of course, no product is perfect, and some eagle-eyed customers have pointed out one tiny flaw: the lack of a lid. ‘Love them! Would be better if Bunnings made lids so we can buy them too, even if purchased separately,’ one shopper suggested.



Others chimed in, dreaming of using the buckets for potting mix, kitchen storage, or even as a home for screws in the shed—if only they had a lid to keep everything secure.

A Bunnings employee confirmed there’s no purchase limit on the mini buckets, but they’re only available while stocks last. So, if you’re thinking of grabbing a few (or a dozen), you might want to get in quick before they disappear!
